The Gulf - Orange Beach 27500 Perdido Beach Boulevard, Orange Beach, AL 36561

"Beautiful setting, right by the water. It is outdoor dining only, very casual, picnic tables under palm trees with string lights on the sand or grass. Very industrial modern vibe as the bar, restrooms and ordering area/kitchen are all made from shipping containers."

"Britannia was excellent and made sure my order was perfect. Friendly, nice and a personality that makes you want to come back. Andrea was also a superstar! She saw I didn’t eat something, my own fault as I’m not a fan of mayo so she came over, let me know they could turn it into a bowl and made everything right as rain! A winning combo! Such a sweet team of people! Great food, amazing view and good drinks"

"Loved the atmosphere! Indoor and outside seating area. We sat at the bar! The bartender was great! He had an extensive knowledge of the menu. Everything he suggested was on the spot! We had a great evening and we enjoyed the most beautiful sunset!"

"The Gulf is a fun enjoyable spot for any group-a date, family, friends, etc. I’d even eat there alone. Know that you’ll order at a station and then seat yourself with a buzzer they’ll use to find you and bring your food. The atmosphere is fun, lighthearted but decked out in a way it’s also perfect for a special occasion. Tables are both on boardwalks and sand. There are some sectional lounge areas as well. The food is fantastic, the service is wonderful, bartenders know what they’re doing and are attentive and quick. The shop there is so cute. You get good portions for your money. We had seafood boil, lobster/shrimp roll, fries, drinks from the bar menu and our other family members that joined us were also satisfied with their choices, including desserts. I should have taken pics of the food! The fish feeder and games are a great addition especially if you go with littles. Being right off the water makes it so enjoyable to eat outdoors. I am So glad we checked it out!"

"Food was delicious! Atmosphere very relaxed and family friendly. Staff friendly except the man who took our order. You order your food from one window and someone brings it to you. That’s the extent of service, so tip accordingly. Have to get your adult beverages from a separate bar. BF ordered the crab legs, but was only given the crab cracker and no other tools (crab fork and knife pick) making it very difficult to get the meat out. Bring your own tools if you plan to have the crab! I had the shrimp and lobster roll which was really good but wish there was more lobster on it. We shared the smoked tuna dip which was amazing. Giving 4 stars due to the lack of proper utensils for the crab. Paying $65 for 2lbs…we want to enjoy it without so much hassle. Would return!"
